Shiva Tandava Stotram
Devanagari
जटाटवीगलज्जलप्रवाहपावितस्थले
गलेऽवलम्ब्य लम्बितां भुजङ्गतुङ्गमालिकाम् |
डमड्डमड्डमड्डमन्निनादवड्डमर्वयं
चकार चण्डताण्डवं तनोतु नः शिवः शिवम् ||१||
jaṭāṭavī-galaj-jala-pravāha-pāvita-sthale
gale 'valambya lambitāṃ bhujaṅga-tuṅga-mālikām ।
ḍamaḍ ḍamaḍ ḍamaḍ ḍaman nināda-vaḍ ḍamarvayaṃ
cakāra caṇḍa-tāṇḍavaṃ tanotu naḥ śivaḥ śivam 1 ॥
With his neck, consecrated by the flow of water flowing from the thick forest-like locks of hair, and on the neck, where the lofty snake is hanging like a garland, and the Damaru drum making the sound of Damat Damat Damat Damat, Lord Śiva did the auspicious dance of Tandava and may He shower prosperity on us all.[1]
जटाकटाहसम्भ्रमभ्रमन्निलिम्पनिर्झरी

dhagad-dhagad-dhagaj-jvalal-lalāṭa-paṭṭa-pāvake
kiśora-candra-śekhare ratiḥ pratikṣaṇaṃ mama ॥ 2 ॥
I have a very deep interest in Lord Śiva, whose head is glorified by the rows of moving waves of the celestial river Gaṅgā, agitating in the deep well of his hair-locks, and who has the brilliant fire flaming on the surface of his forehead, and who has the crescent moon as a jewel on his head.
Devanagari
धराधरेन्द्रनंदिनीविलासबन्धुबन्धुर
स्फुरद्दिगन्तसन्ततिप्रमोदमानमानसे |
कृपाकटाक्षधोरणीनिरुद्धदुर्धरापदि

kvacid digambare (kvacic cidambare) mano vinodametu vastuni ॥ 3 ॥
May my mind seek happiness in the Lord Śiva, in whose mind all the living beings of the glorious universe exist, who is the sportive companion of Parvati (daughter of the mountain king), who controls invincible hardships with the flow of his compassionate look, who is all-pervasive (the directions are his clothes).
